iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3 dragged behind a car

Samsung Galaxy super-fan website, APerfectGalaxy.com, has posted a video to YouTube of its self-named “Drag Race Scratch Test: Samsung Galaxy S III vs. iPhone 4S.” As the name implies, they tethered both a Samsung Galaxy S III and an iPhone 4S to the back of a vehicle, laid them face down on the concrete and took off driving while a very energetic cameraman filmed and narrated the event from the truck of the car.

APerfectGalaxy says the “test” shows us the “superiority” of the S3’s display. As with all of these types of videos out there, depending on the nature of the “test”, we've seen each of these phones take the top spot, but if you are planning on dragging your mobile device behind your car, we guess the Samsung Galaxy S III takes the cake.

While we’re sure you can make a case for either of these devices being tougher than the other, there is no denying that there is some sort of unexplainable draw to watching people ruin their expensive things in new and crazy ways.

Display mode:

iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S III, they are both very fragile. Also in this test is just to much accidental chances, as YouTube video it is good but as a test it is almost worthless.
In my opinion Samsung Galaxy S II was build stronger than Galaxy S III.

agree with you.. i dont like samsung but s2 really looks great (but my first impression to it was "is that an iPhone?" sorry i am not as techie before) and s2 looks more premium and good looking than s3! while my first impression to s3.. without its quad core i think buying an asha phone is better than this phone!

So lame. Like others have already said, the iPhone was freakin' bouncing around like crazy so of course it got way more scratches. Also really stupid to assume the iPhone doesn't have Gorilla Glass. There is enough evidence to suggest they do on their phones and tablets. Apple doesn't tout other companies they partner with, that's why they don't mention LG making the retina display or Sony making the camera sensor. It's most likely Gorilla Glass VS Gorilla Glass, which is really pointless. You can probably attribute other factors as well, including the iPhone's lack of a lip around the screen, and its density and small size which helped it bounce better. The worst part was the guy's voiceover was 200% PR stunt worthy. My Samsung S8500 Wave and S2 both scratched up and they were both Gorilla Glass.

Either there's a lot of rich assholes around or a certain sponsor *cough* is giving out free phones and setting up pseudo-PR websites acting as third parties. Whatever the case, they should've sent both phones to ME instead. $700 a piece. Yeesh.

Yes Lets Play a prank on Jimbo and his wife. We're gonna take 2 new phones and record it for all of youtube to see. Drag it around on the back of a car call it a "Drag scratch test" then toss them back in the box and see there happy faces when they open it. :)

Ok this is silly. This guy is talking about how the SIII uses Gorilla Glass...the i phone has had it since 2007. The main reason the Apple took this "test" so badly is it's styling.The i phone has the edges of the screen exposed slightly. Gorilla glass, like tempered glass is more easily damaged from the edge. The SIII has a case that wraps around the edge of the glass. That being said I think the test was silly. A drop test would be more useful. Oh and before all the Galaxy fans jump on me...I am one. I have an SIII and I make fun of Apple users when I can.

some people would do just about anything to be on phonearena. I request phonearena.com to stop publicizing these insane tests unless people start using their phones under water, as hammers, shoes, kids toys and forks and knives and manufacturers start making them as so.

Actually the Uploader closed his account, or at least that's what youtube said, so i didn't see, but how would anyone benefit from this video, you would find it useful if it was a bullet-proof glass or something like that but smartphones, I highly doubt that !!!
How about you have fun destroying the ES8000 Samsung Smart TV, that would be very helpful for someone whose considering buying one.

"What do you think will happen to the T.V if it was dragged behind a car , it will be destroyed , ohh no, I won't buy one then" !
